Willona Woods is a great friend and neighbor to the Evans Family. Independent, generous and always up for fun, Willona can also be nosey, at times, and a little gossipy.   But as Florida's best friend, Willona is always there with a helping hand in good and bad times. A divorcee sporting fashionable clothes and slinging unabashed advice, Willona juggles a variety of jobs while maintaining an active single life. When an unexpected child enters her life, Willona doesn't hesitate to bring her into her home and treat her as her own flesh and blood. As an honorary member of the Evans household, Willona is the steady tower of strength that everyone can rely on.
